1998 Ford Mustang GT review from North America
"Great to look at and even better to drive!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the clutch at 65,000 miles because it was starting to vibrate and I was having trouble with second gear and reverse.
General comments?
Taking off from stop lights gave me an adrenaline rush every time.
Besides the clutch problem, it was a perfect car, and selling it was the biggest mistake of my life.
Even on 12-20 hour road trips I always looked forward to getting behind the wheel, the interior was very well designed, my only complaint would be the placement of the cup holders, you can't shift with a drink in the front one.
As far as performance, I put a supercharger on it which really added to the overall performance, especially racing, that thing hauled. The car handled great up to about 130, then the steering got a little mushy.
